Chapter 321 - 321 Meeting
“I want to look at him from afar and see if 1 like him,” Gu Zishan replied, raising her head.
Father Gu knew that his daughter prioritized how someone looked, so he nodded and said, “That’s not a problem. You can change into coarse clothes tomorrow and let your brother bring you up the mountain to chop firewood. Just pass by their place, and you will see him.”
“Alright, then leave this to me.” Gu Chengye nodded in agreement.
The next morning, the brother and sister pushed a cart out of the house.
However, they did not go there right away. Instead, they went to the mountain between their village and the manor to chop firewood.
Of course, it was mainly Gu Chengye who did the cutting, while Gu Zilin helped to clean up.
When they needed to rest, they walked over to one side. After looking around, Gu Chengye walked to Hu Chun and greeted him, “Brother Hu, you guys are really fast at chopping down firewood.”
“Oh, Brother Chengye. Yeah, we have to hurry. We’ll freeze if we don’t have a house to live in before winter.” Hu Chun replied, wiping away his sweat with the towel on his neck.
“Oh, right. What kind of house are you guys planning to build? Brick or mud?”
“Two days ago, 1 went to the kiln yard and settled on building a brick house with the bricks they have. It’ll be faster this way. Oh, are you guys collecting firewood?” Hu Chun asked.
“Yeah, there’s basically no firewood on the mountain over there, so we came here.”
“It’s a pity that the situation here isn’t that great either. We only found some shrubs and withered grass.”
“Indeed, but it’s lucky that the trees here weren’t completely peeled off.”
“That’s true. 1 won’t disturb you if you’re busy. If you need our help, just let us know.”
“Don’t worry. When the construction of our village starts, 1’11 definitely ask for your help.” Hu Chun said.
Gu Chengye nodded. He took another glance at the place before he turned around and left.
At the same time, Gu Zishan sized Hu Chun up seriously while standing not far away. He was pretty tall and strong, but he was tan. However, his facial features were quite good-looking, especially his pair of eyes that shone exceptionally bright.
He also had a row of white teeth and clean, neat hair. One look and you could tell he was a person who loved cleanliness.
In addition, his capabilities were good, so she wasn’t repulsed by him.
Hu Chun naturally noticed Gu Zishan standing nearby like a still painting. However, he only took a curious glance at her before looking away.
Gu Chengye and his sister didn’t stay long after they had achieved their goal. They hurried home, pulling the small cart loaded with firewood.
“How is he?” Gu Chengye turned his head and asked his sister. “Overall, he’s not bad, right?”
“He’s fine,” Gu Zishan said, nodding.
“You should seriously consider it. Getting married to him is not going to be an easy life for the next two years.
“You have to think about this clearly. Don’t complain to father and me when you regret it.”
“Yeah.” Gu Zishan blushed and responded, but she did not say anything else.
Conversely, Zhou Ying knew Father Gu had taken a fancy to Flu Chun as his future son-in-law through Gu Chengrui.
One morning, she was sitting outside, basking in the sun. She was making cotton shoes and listening to the women gossip around her.
When she heard someone mention Hu Chun, she perked up her ears to listen.
Only then did she realize that many people were eyeing Hu Chun.
Two of them were the most obvious. One was Zhang Qingqing’s mother, Aunt Zhang.
There was also a sister from the Gu Clan. It seemed that she was asking for her sister’s sake.
Zhou Ying knew that Hu Chun had become a hotcake. She just didn’t know who would be the winner in this race for him.
After dinner, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about the matter and asked curiously, “Do you think Hu Chun will be interested in Zishan?”
“I don’t care, as long as you don’t fall for him.” Gu Chengrui grabbed her hand after he finished..
